Could a white, Asian or Hispanic D with a comparable record and ideology have been elected even with the meltdown and running against the McCain/Palin ticket?
1) A non-black Commie Crook from Chicago could not have gotten the D nomination. The D superdelegates would have exercised their veto against any non-black McGovern jr. so the answer was no.
2) A moderate Asian or Hispanic D would not have energized the D base and McCain would have been a one term president and be followed by a D one term wonder.
Would option 2 be worse for the D bench than Obama was?
